A sensitive case in the market when it comes to the future, everyone has their own opinion on it. The trust of banks and credit institutions, especially those partners with Ripple, will be the channel for XRP issuers to decide the number of coins to be issued and the corresponding exchange rate. The higher the price pulls, the higher the confidence, and vice versa.However, it will take a few years for the bank to fully appreciate the potential of the coin. In the short term, I feel it will have more consolidation and pumps in the near future.
We don't know the future but why there are people that are confident enough that the future is going to be bright for some coins? BTC for an instance, so I guess it can also depend on the coin if how good it is or if the coin has an anomaly.
To me, ripple is a good coin because of its use case which is fast and almost free when it comes to transactions therefore I can conclude that this coin's future is going to be bright but I know that some of you won't agree with this as some of you think ripple is too controversial. On the other hand, polygon is more favoured by the people. I believe more people are going to go for polygon more than to ripple.
